This is just the people's punishment for the protests since Sept. 11. The media hasn't been reporting it, but there have been significant protests in all major cities. Iranians have always had satellite dishes - its just that they never enforced the law. If the government keeps this up, there might just be a new government in the future. About 1/2 the population is under the age of 25...they've lived under the Ayatollah since birth. And I think they're sick of it.

Also, we need to remember that the Iranians are NOT Arabs...they're Persian. AND they're Shiite muslims, who are no particular fans of Osama's idea of religion.

Well said. I was wondering the same thing, "how long will they put up with this crap?"

Should be interesting to see what unfolds.
